Tiyatien Health is a non-profit organization working towards rebuilding rural healthcare in war-torn countries. This charity brings medical care to some of the most remote corners of Liberia. It was implemented by a group of Liberian civil war survivors and American healthcare workers to seek justice for Liberia’s healthcare crisis. Raj Panjabi, Alphonso Mouwon, Weafus Quitoe, Marcus Kudee, Theo Neewrayson, and Amisha Raja co-founded the organization and were later joined by Peter Luckow in 2009. The name “Tiyatien Health”, meaning ‘justice in health’ in the local language came to be known as Last Mile Health in 2013. This organization recruits, trains, and manages members of the community, to provide safe healthcare for those in need that
Analysis of CAFOD (A Charity Organization) The charity I am going to analyse and explain is CAFOD. CAFOD was formed in 1961when the National Board of Catholic Women decided to carry out a family fast day, because the people of the Caribbean Island of Dominica had requested help for a mother and baby health care programme. A year after the family fast day the Catholic bishops of England and Wales decided to set up the “Catholic Fund for Overseas Development” or “CAFOD”. The main aim of this charity was to bring together the vast number of smaller charities and to educate Roman Catholics in England and Wales about the need for world development and also to raise money for developing countries. Even now CAFOD is still helping all around the world thanks to the support of Catholics in England and Wales.

“The only real nation is humanity” (Farmer 123). This quote represents a huge message that is received in, Tracy Kidder’s, Mountains Beyond Mountains. This book argues that universal healthcare is a right and not a privilege. Kidder’s book also shows the audience that every individual, no matter what the circumstances, is entitled to receive quality health care. In the book Kidder represents, Paul Farmer, a man who spends his entire life determined to improve the health care of impoverished areas around the world, namely Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the world. By doing this the audience learns of the horrible circumstances, and the lack of quality health care that nations like Haiti live with everyday, why every person has the right to healthcare no matter what, and how cost effectiveness should not determine whether or not these people get to live or die. Two texts that also argue this idea are Monte Leach’s “Ensuring Health Care as a Global Human Right,” and Darshak Sanghavi’s “Is it Cost Effective to Treat the World’s Poor.” Leach’s article is an interview with Benjamin Crème that illustrates why food, shelter, education, and healthcare are human rights that have to be available to everyone. He shares many of the same views on health care as Farmer, and the two also share similar solutions to this ongoing problem. Leach also talks about the rapidly growing aids epidemic, and how it must be stopped. Like farmer, he also argues that it is easier to prevent these diseases then to cure them. Furthermore, Sanghavi’s article represents many of the questions that people would ask about cost effectiveness. Yet similar to Farmer’s views, Sanghavi argues that letting the poor d...
Non-Profit organizations are a major mold in society in general, and they continue to help advance many of the social causes of our time. From the description, we know that employee and volunteer morale is quite low, and that is the fault of the senior management. In an organization, it is important that each individual knows that they are contributing to something larger than themselves. In many cases, employees seek to work somewhere where they can earn a living, but also where they can become a member of a team, and feel a sense of purpose. When they are not treated with respect or given the ability to make their own decisions, they lose engagement and become stagnant in their work. Volunteers look for much of the same thing; they are, after
Describe the differences between nonprofit and for-profit hospitals. William & Torres provided a table to reflect hospital ownership, and noted that some hospitals, while owned by one type of entity, may be operating under a contract by another entity, such as a hospital management company (Williams & Torres, page 185). Some of the largest groups of hospitals in the nation are nonprofit community hospitals (Williams & Torrens, page 185). Nonprofit entities, including hospitals, function under special provisions of corporation law in each state, and under federal and state tax provisions that recognize their community service function (Williams & Torrens, page 185).
As a child growing up I was taught that being a business man was substantial in becoming a man. My father always made it his responsibility to engineer the foundation of business. His main goal for his son was to become an entrepreneur. Unfortunately, I became interested in a different field. With the same intentions of staying in business, business analyst grew on me unexpectedly. My father being the disciplinarian kept me business orientated but sports had an effect as well. Life began to hit me once I was leaving High School. As a high school student, I chose to take business classes but my attention was more so in sports. As a basketball player for 1-2 years and taking business classes, I became distracted in finding my career until I took this business class. The business class involved analyzing a business organization to examine its weakness and

Nonprofit and for-profit businesses have multiple similarities and differences. For-profit organizations are very different from non-profit organizations because the driving goal of a for-profit organization is increasing its revenue whereas a non-profit organization will not go out of business if it suffers financial loss or does not have a bottom-line. The marketing process also differs, with the biggest differentiating factor of profit marketing is to encourage customers to buy and while the nonprofit marketing purpose is usually to encourage people to give. This means that the return on investment differs between the two. Although the principles of marketing remain the same, some of the methods must, of necessity, be different. Because of the intense involvement in the community as well as support from government, agencies non-profit firms should not compete in the same markets as for profit companies nor in anyway position their organization in any way to give the impression that their efforts could be commercial based (Nelson, 2002).

With advanced technology, nursing is more connected and interdependent. The nursing professional unit is able to lobby to both local and international community organizations on behalf of the African community from anywhere in the world. Funding and education are necessary for this well needed community in order to assist in a caring and positive manner to combat their diagnosis of diabetes or related symptoms. With the increase in world-wide travel, infectious diseases now spread across the world at an alarming rate. Madeline Leininger, a well-known theorist in nursing, stated that “globalization implies an ethical and moral obligation for professional nurses to enter and function in a worldwide community” (Nursing Theories, 2011b).
The healthcare crisis in Africa is a prominent issue that affects all of Africa's residents in some way. The crisis affects African's because preventable diseases and poor living sanitation causes them to have low life expectancy. The high rate of preventable diseases being transmitted throughout the population includes tuberculosis, STI's, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. The issue of healthcare in Africa affects all of the poor people who have limited access to treatment, supplies, healthcare professionals, health facilities, or education. The healthcare system in Africa is inefficient in poor areas and an example includes living in unsanitary, poverty stricken areas that results in malnutrition, infections or viruses, death, and an ...
In contrast, my sense of being powerless is further strengthened after I realized global health problems cannot be solved simply through increasing funding and human resources. In fact, global health problems are tied with contingent factors. The local political, social and economic aspects all need to be taken in consideration when designing a global health model. Any careless actions can lead to unintended consequences, affecting several human lives. Indeed, all the big talks had overwhelmed me until I learned about the community partners approach used by UNICEF and Partner In Health in several global designs such as Rwanda.
people’s clubs in the town so the idea of some form of day centre came
The TASO model catered to the community because it allowed flexibility and confidentiality. If a patient was unable to travel to the facility, they were able to have their treatment brought to them. This helped many who were unable to afford the travel to a facility, but also those who were not able to physically go and receive treatment from a facility. On the other hand, those who did not want to disclose their medical situation to another were able to have their treatments done at the facility, which maintained confidentiality (Ellner, et al. p. 14). If a patient had access to a phone and had a question or concern, they were able to call a hotline to receive advice. For those in more rural areas, TASO was able to build outreach centers
